Definitions

  • an electrical switch of the type indicated in the preamble characterized in that it comprises a ball joint pivotally carried on the housing around two transverse axes respectively main and secondary, the ball joint having a through channel receiving the free rotation lever about its longitudinal axis transverse to the main and secondary pivot axes of the ball joint, the switch further comprising a yoke carried by the ball joint to follow the latter during its pivoting around the axis secondary while allowing relative pivoting of the ball joint relative to the yoke when the ball joint is pivotally moved about the main axis.
  • the elastic member urging the ball bearing against the spherical bearing also urges a member serving for indexing the clevis and the ball joint when they pivot around the secondary axis.
  • the spherical central body 202 of the ball joint rests against a bearing 110 of spherical envelope mena ge on the cap 106 of the housing.
  • the yoke 400 is provided with third bearing surfaces 420, 422.
  • the third bearing surfaces 420, 422 are defined on the above-mentioned internal surfaces 408, 410 of the wings 404, 406.
  • the third bearing surfaces 420, 422, are parallel to each other and parallel to the section plane II illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • third bearing surfaces 420, 422 extend perpendicular to the main axis 210.
  • the yoke 400 When the yoke 400 is engaged on the ball joint 200, the first bearing surfaces 412, 414 rest against the spherical outer surface 204 of the ball joint 200, the second bearing surfaces 416, 418 rest on the pins 212, 214 of the ball joint, and the third bearing surfaces 420, 422 rest against the lateral surfaces 205, 207 of the control finger 206.
  • the yoke 400 constantly follows the ball joint 200 during its pivoting around the secondary axis 220, while authorizing a relative pivoting of the ball joint 200 with respect to the yoke 400 when the ball joint 200 is pivotally displaced about the main axis 210.
  • the means ensuring the indexing of the yoke 400 relative to the housing 100 during its pivoting around the secondary axis 220 are symmetrical with respect to the section plane of FIG. 1 referenced I-I in FIG. 2.
  • two blind bores 436 symmetrical with the section plane I-I and each housing an indexing pad 430 provided with a roller 432 urged against the indexing surface 120 by a spring 434.
  • indexing springs 434 which push the yoke 400 away from the indexing surface 120, via the engagement gement of the second bearing surfaces 416, 418 on the pins 212, 214 integral with the ball joint 200, urge the latter against the surfaces of the spherical bearing 110 facing the indexing surface 120.
  • Means are also provided for indexing the ball joint 220 relative to the yoke 400 when the ball joint 200 pivots about the main axis 210.
  • the body 202 of the ball joint and the sleeve 208 are traversed by a bore 240 coaxial with the sleeve 208.
  • the bore 240 receives the control lever 300 free to rotate about its longitudinal axis 302.
  • the ball joint 200 is pivotally carried on the housing 100 around the two transverse axes 210, 220 respectively main and secondary.
  • the yoke 400 is carried by the ball joint 200 to follow the latter during its pivoting around the secondary axis 220 while allowing relative pivoting of the ball joint 200 relative to the yoke 400 when the ball joint 200 is moved to pivot around the main axis 210.
  • the slats 524 supported by the housing 100 can be adapted so that the drawer 500 and the contact pad 520, during their translation parallel to the main axis 210, ensure a selection of the lighting mode, successively: off city, road by connecting variable pairs of electrically conductive lamellas 524.
  • the yoke 400 has a blind bore 450 with an axis parallel to the secondary axis 220.
  • This bore 450 houses a contact pad 452 and a biasing spring 454.
  • the stud 452 which emerges outside the bore 450 is biased against a set of blades 456 by the spring 454.
  • the surface 112 of spherical envelope, also provided on the cap 106, is essentially directed towards the lower cap 108. It is substantially complementary to the surface 242 of the ball joint 200.
